About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to quickly find information using Perplexity’s Sonar models through OpenRouter. It intelligently chooses between Sonar Pro Search (for fast lookups) and Sonar Reasoning Pro (for deeper analysis), providing access to current academic literature, technical documentation, and general research findings with proper citations and source attribution. The skill is designed for rapid fact-checking and knowledge gathering across various fields.

When to use it

  • Current Research Information: Find the latest studies, papers, and findings in a specific field.
  • Literature Verification: Check facts, statistics, or claims against current research.
  • Background Research: Gather context and supporting evidence for scientific writing.
  • Technical Documentation: Look up specifications, protocols, or methodologies.
  • Recent Developments: Stay updated on emerging trends and breakthroughs.

Key capabilities

  • Academic Research Queries: Search recent papers, studies, and reviews in specific domains.
  • Intelligent Model Selection: Automatically chooses between Sonar Pro Search and Sonar Reasoning Pro based on query complexity.
  • Source Attribution: Provides citations and links to the original sources of information.

Example prompts

  • "Recent advances in CRISPR gene editing 2024"
  • "Latest clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease treatment"
  • "Machine learning applications in drug discovery systematic review"

Tips & gotchas

  • For documents, consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication. The skill integrates with the "scientific-schematics" skill to generate these diagrams based on natural language descriptions (e.g., using python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png).
  • Complex queries will automatically leverage Sonar Reasoning Pro for deeper analysis, which may take longer than simpler searches with Sonar Pro Search.
